Above is a picture of the computer I just put together. The case is a Corsair Air. As you can probably tell, the 8pin power cord for my video card, while it fits into the case, is pressing up against the plastic window. I am uneasy as to whether this could eventually damage the cable's components and cause it to short out or start a fire.
Also super pissed off that something sized for mATX doesn't have the height to accomodate a standard mid-range card + power cable.
I have a modular 600w Corsair PSU. I asked in another thread if anyone knew of any 'flatter' 8pin connectors I might use to lower the cable's profile, but no one has answered. If you happen to know of any (I guess I just don't have the right keyword? Please let me know.
And if you have any advice on how I should proceed (even if its 'return case before the receipt period is up'), please share!
